I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, but sometimes I feel like I'm all alone on this crazy ride. Come along on the journey that I call my life, through the ups, downs, and in betweens...

About Me

My name is Eva, I've been married to my hubby for almost 3 years now, and we have a baby girl named Haeley. She is my world, and I never knew what true, unconditional , unwavering love was until she was placed in my arms. There is no feeling on the planet like being a mother, the words have not been invented to describe the way I feel about my little girl. I thank God for giving my husband and I the girft of being her parents. After having Haeley I went back to school to finish my BA in Education, I love children and I love to learn new things. I think children have a beautifully pure way of looking at the world and making others see the beauty they see. When I am helping a child nothing else seems to matter, all my problems melt away and I am in my element. I become optimistic, alive, happy, and goofy.
I absolutely adore my hubby, without him I do believe it would have taken me years to see the potential I have within me. He showed me that I am good enough and complete just the way I am. He makes me smile, laugh, and cry because of his generosity and loyalty to those he loves. I am blessed that his love has touched mine and my family's lives.

Starting Anew...

My Haeley with her "Dominic the Donkey" Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa.

It's been a while for me, and I guess I might have to figure out how to get back into the blogging routine. I'm sure it won't be that difficult.Life for me has changed considerably, I'm a mom now! I have a five month old daughter named Haeley, she is my world. I honestly didn't know what real, true, unconditional love was until I held her in my arms that first day. She is me and I am her, we fit together like puzzle pieces. I can't imagine my life without her, and I feel like in some way she's always been here.

I think of her before I think of myself, I suppose that will be happening for the rest of my life. In the beginning I didn't want to spend time with anyone else but her, it was like I was trying to keep her to myself, but I think I was also getting to know her, and I wanted to do that without prying eyes. We bonded, I fell in love. How does a little person make you love them so deeply, when you don't even know them?

During the course of my pregnancy I manged to gain all my weight back, I enjoyed the excuse to eat, never really giving a thought to the damage I was doing to myself. Well the damage is done, and as of January 1st, I will be getting myself in gear and trying to get back in shape, I want this for myself as much as my daughter. I want to be able to play with her, and not be tired. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin, so I will be able to teach her to value herself. I want to live long enough to see her fall in love, get married and have babies of her own.
